🌴 Three Loops, Endless Strategy

Springfield is made up of three 9-hole loops:

🏌️ A Course (Mountain): Elevation changes, tight fairways, and hillside views make this the most visually engaging of the three.

💧 B Course (Lake): Water hazards come into play on several holes, requiring focus and well-placed shots.

🌾 C Course (Valley): The newest loop offers a slightly gentler design but still challenges with its bunkering and sloping greens.

The most commonly played 18-hole round combines Mountain and Lake, providing a complete test of strategy, accuracy, and creativity. Exactly what you’d expect from a Jack Nicklaus signature design. This 27-hole format also makes Springfield ideal for tournaments or long weekend getaways, where players can enjoy different configurations without repetition. Golfers staying multiple days in Hua Hin often use Springfield as their primary course thanks to this built-in variety.

🎯 Signature Holes That Define Springfield Royal Country Club

🏋️ Hole A4 (Par 4): This downhill dogleg demands a perfect tee shot. Miss the fairway and you’ll have a tough second into a green guarded by water.

🏋️ Hole B6 (Par 3): Over water to a heavily bunkered green — intimidating visually and technically.

🏋️ Hole C9 (Par 5): A risk-reward finishing hole with water along the entire right side. Go for the green in two only if you’re confident.

These holes stand out not only for their beauty but for the way they make you think. Springfield isn’t just about hitting the ball well; it’s about plotting your way around and avoiding Jack’s signature traps.

🌺 A Lush and Serene Setting

Unlike some of the busier resort courses, Springfield offers a calm, natural atmosphere. The fairways are framed by tropical trees and flowering shrubs, with birdsong often accompanying your round. The course is kept in pristine condition year-round, and the greens run smooth and true. In the early morning, a slight mist often lingers over the fairways, adding a magical touch to sunrise tee-offs. During sunset, the soft golden light filters through palm trees and reflects off lakes, creating a postcard-worthy setting. Whether you’re aiming for par or just soaking up the ambiance, the environment here elevates every round.

There’s a clear sense of space and silence here. Ideal for those who want to focus on the game or simply enjoy a peaceful walk (cart optional, but recommended).

🍽️ Clubhouse and Facilities

Springfield’s large, elegant clubhouse overlooks key holes and includes:

🥗 Restaurant: A relaxing spot to grab a meal or drink post-round, with views of the fairways

🛍️ Pro Shop: Offers name-brand apparel, gloves, balls, and souvenirs

🏌️‍♂️ Practice Range: Full driving range, chipping area, and putting greens

🧖 Locker Rooms: Spacious and well-maintained

For groups, the clubhouse also offers function rooms and open terraces, great for awards ceremonies, lunches, or golf society gatherings. The staff is well-trained, friendly, and used to catering to both international and Thai clientele. Caddies are well-trained, courteous, and experienced a big help in navigating Nicklaus’s subtle design elements. They often know the greens better than any yardage book and can offer club suggestions, green reads, and tips on local wind patterns.
